🇹🇭 Thailand visa requirements for Eritrean citizens

Entry rules for Eritrea passport holders

Before traveling to Thailand, Eritrean citizens must apply for an electronic visa through the official Thailand government portal. Processing usually takes from a few hours to a few business days, so apply well before your flight. Print a copy of the approval to show at check-in and on arrival.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Thailand immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Eritrean passport ranks #187 worldwide, opening 40 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (11 visa-free, 27 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Thailand is not among them — it is one of the 109 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

In the other direction, Thai citizens traveling to Eritrea face a different rule: visa required.

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 5 of 11 destinations are open to Eritrean travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
